I was trying to get my uncles old boat going for him the other day. Its been stored indoors for the last 20 years and has not been used since. At first the engine turned over very slowly, so i added more power, jumpers from a truck etc and still turns over very slowly. I removed the plugs and as expected the engine turned over at what i would feel is the correct speed. I put a bit of oil in each cylinder and turned it over a few times to try and lubricate the cylinders. I put the plugs back in and same thing cranks over very slowly and not nearly enough to fire. Im stumped. Any sugestions? Engine is a 1985 Evinrude 2 STROKE
